June 8th, 2024 – Don鈥檛 Be the Smartest in the Room

I鈥檓 feeling very good physically.

I know I can improve a lot…

But I鈥檓 probably in the best shape of my life until now.

And this is helping me a lot in Jiu Jitsu.

Saturday is my off day from work and usually I go to the open mat where it’s just sparring.

Today as usual I did all 17 rounds.

I even created some rules to challenge myself, like needing to score 20 points, not letting anyone score points on me and submitting at least 2 times each.

It wasn鈥檛 hard to impose my game on most people.

It felt good…

But I remembered one thing:

If you are the smartest person in the room, change rooms.

I鈥檓 not saying that I鈥檓 better than everyone else in the gym and that I don鈥檛 have space for improvement.

But this just grew my desire to be in a place where I am absolutely the worst.

I want the opportunity to be surrounded by the best of the best.

To train every day with world champions.

To see how the highest level of the sport feels like.

I really want this!

And I know I just need to be patient, keep working on myself,

And the time will come!
